Chapter 2004: Wang Chongs Sword Dance! (1/2)
Edited by: Michyrr
In the southwest, northwest, and all across the Central Plains, An Yaluoshan's single step produced heaven-shaking omens.
At this moment, several hundred li from the capital…
Whoosh!
A fierce gale swept past, causing robes to rustle in the wind. Beneath a lush scholar tree, several black-robed figures exuding boundless storms of energy floated in the air like ghosts.
One of them wore an eerie white mask. This was one of the leaders of the men in black, Genesis Supreme.
Next to him was the Tianfu Divine Lord.
The feast of all countries was a time when emissaries from all the countries assembled, but even so, not even the powerful Genesis Supreme dared to enter the capital, or even get close. He only watched from a distance.
All of this was because of 'that man' within the Imperial Palace!
”Great Genesis Supreme, that Hu really succeeded! Not only did he deliver that 'Black Emperor Pearl' to Li Taiyi, he's really begun to take the Central Plains Dragon Qi!
”This fellow is truly a genius!”
The Tianfu Divine Lord's voice was full of sincere praise.
The capital shone as brightly as a sea of stars in the darkness, dazzling even from a distance. More importantly, though they were outside the capital, they had been able to clearly sense the shift in heavenly phenomena. In addition, the sun-like pressure of Li Taiyi's energy radiating from the capital had suddenly weakened.
”Otherwise, how could he be called the 'Child of the World'?” Genesis Supreme indifferently said. Although he was more restrained, his voice clearly carried a hint of admiration for An Yaluoshan.
”Great Genesis Supreme, this ant truly managed to do what we could not. If Li Taiyi has weakened so much that he can't even control the body, why don't we…”
The Tianfu Divine Lord once more became tempted.
”Absolutely not!”
Genesis Supreme waved his sleeve and immediately rejected the idea.
”Li Taiyi set up a formation in the capital targeted against us. The moment we enter the capital, the formation will activate. It was precisely because Alpha Supreme looked down on him too much and acted carelessly that he was trapped and killed, every sliver of his energy seized! Li Taiyi is not as simple as you think he is!”
The mention of 'Alpha Supreme' left the Tianfu Divine Lord shaken, and he lowered his head and became much quieter.
No one knew the exact details behind the physical death of Alpha Supreme, only that 'Heaven' had ordered that entry into the capital was forbidden ever since then. Without an order, no member of the organization could casually approach it.
The Tianfu Divine Lord had not imagined that Li Taiyi had been the one to kill Alpha Supreme.
”…The Black Emperor Pearl has been delivered and our goal has been achieved. There is no need to rush. He can't hold on for much longer. Even if he's trying to bait us, we've gotten what we wanted. We can leave the rest to that Hu.”
Genesis Supreme paid no attention to the Tianfu Divine Lord's expression.
His attention was focused completely on the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal.
He was growing more and more interested in this shrewd Hu.
'Heaven' had truly selected an excellent person!
……
Meanwhile, at the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal, as An Yaluoshan took his critical step…
”Warning! Special Event! The comet strikes the moon; the Taisui offends the Ziwei! The Central Plains Dragon Qi has suffered an intense shock and is rapidly weakening!
(TN: The Taisui is the term used in Chinese astrology for the stars directly opposite the planet Jupiter. There are sixty gods in total, with each having a particular year that they are venerated in.)
”Warning! User's Destined Foe has begun draining the Central Plains Dragon Qi! The fortune of the Central Plains is rapidly weakening! This event has enormous ramifications! User has only thirty minutes to stop this event from reaching the worst state!
”Warning! Major development! The Central Plains Dragon Qi is rapidly weakening! User is penalized 1,000,000 points of Destiny Energy!
”Further penalties calculating!”
A string of messages rushed through Wang Chong's mind, and the Stone of Destiny's voice made him pale.
The Central Plains Dragon Qi!
The fortune of the Central Plains!
Wang Chong finally understood An Yaluoshan's goal in coming to the capital.
He had found some wicked art that allowed him to steal the Central Plains Dragon Qi!
”Seeking death!”
Wang Chong's mind instantly exploded with killing intent.
Meanwhile, while nothing seemed to have happened for the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal, the entire world changed for An Yaluoshan.
